FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ MEDITATION ON SUCCESS ~ 26 October 2014
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

MEDITATION ON SUCCESS

"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)

"Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.)

A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business". Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business!

Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, we must first learn the laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded..."To live life fully by doing rather than talking".

Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above. Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

CAPT Stephen W. Seelig, CHC, USN

To: The Mayor

Good evening, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to The Mayor family.

Hope you’ve had a relaxing weekend so far.

Another dusting of the white stuff, but still too warm in the day time.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

"...stain the paint on our cars."

That doesn't sound good.

Our very nice Management Company attempted to remove them (they are not indigenous trees and considered an invasive species!) but the idiot enviro-nazis in City Hall made them cease and desist.
